All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
“and it’s okay to laugh about it”
I said, “it’s okay to laugh about it”
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don’t catch my breath to the end of the day
And I’d rather be shot in the face
Than hear what you’re going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you’ll come up empty again
And who’ll be laughing then?

You’ll come up empty again
There’s no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
It’s always funny until someone gets hurt…
And then it’s just hilarious!
You beat me every time you blink
If only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin’ a smile
Think about you all the while
One day the wind will come up
And you’ll come up empty again
And who’ll be laughing then?
You’ll come up empty again
There’s no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
On the ricochet – it’s gonna hit you
It’s always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me – when it misses you
It’s always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it’s just hilarious!

It is the springtime of my loving – the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing – so little warmth I’ve felt before.
It isn’t hard to feel me glowing – I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles – flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain’t so hard to recognize – These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk – I’ve felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought YOU would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us…
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion – I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient – Upon us all a little rain must fall…It’s just a little rain…

If you call out loud
Will it get inside?
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis

And you can
Say the words
Like you understand
But the power’s in believing
So give yourself a chance

Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea-ee

And a
Little self-esteem

To get your dreams up off the ground

Before your confidence will win out

And when you think of trust
Does it lead you home?
To a place that you only dream of
When you’re all alone

And you can go by feel
‘Stead of circumstance
But the power’s in believing

I know that you can
Sail across the water
Float across the sky-i
Any road that you take will get you there
If you only try

Feet flat on the ground

Before your confidence will win out
But till that day
I said you gotta keep the faith

Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you’re quick, but most days you’re speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others

Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others

Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can’t stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you’re a brother
Some days are better than others

Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won’t let you in

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you’re thankful for what you’ve got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it’s the enemy

Some days are work, most days you’re lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin’ for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others

Some days you feel ahead
You’re making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others

Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
